In Art History class the boys have been studying Leonardo Da Vinci. Last week they looked at the Mona Lisa, and this week they did backward writing which is also called mirror writing. Leonardo used mirror writing for most of his journals. Mrs. Mollett did an excellent job presenting this topic, and the boys had a great time trying mirror writing for themselves. Mrs. Mollett brought mirrors so that the boys could see how they were doing. I shot a much longer video than the one posted above, but it is interspersed with boys' names, so I could only include this snippet. Trust me when I say that there was enthusiasm and excitement in abundance in the room during Art History. Thanks for such a great lesson, Mrs. Mollett!! Click here to see a great link to see your own phrases in mirror writing. Better yet try it out yourself at home and send notes back and forth in your family. Any carpool or other note sent in from home may be written in mirror writing if you would like. Go for it!!
